Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis : It is the process in which solar energy is converted into biomass energy. Photosynthesis process occurs only in green plants. It is the process of combining CO2 from the atmosphere with water in the presence of light energy to produce carbohydrates and oxygen. The photosynthesis process is complex but overall photosynthesis process can be represented by the following process
Total energy stored in the photosynthesis process is about 4500 Kj
Conditions for Photosynthesis:-
1 Chlorophyll must be present in leaf cells for photosynthesis to occur.
2 Leaves must be exposed to light for photosynthesis to occur.
3 Plants need carbon dioxide to be able to photosynthesis.
